How are you paying for special formula?

DS has to be on either Elecare or Neocate. Our insurance will not cover and we're just out of reach for assistance (covered if I quit my job-but not ethical). Have no clue how to afford it. How are you paying for it? How many cans do you use a week? Right now DS is at a can every 3 days, and a can here is 50.

Wow! My daughter is on Enfamil AR and she's using approximately 3 cans a week. I shop around for example Walmart sells for 17.00+, Target 18.00+ and Jewels 15.00+. I shop at the cheapest price and I use Enfamil $5.00 checks. They are still sending me in the mail. It helps!

Until you get the ins coverage straightened out, i found these. theyre the cheapest ive seen. Theres an even cheaper price underneath where it says how many are left in stock! Hurry before they run out!

Ds is on Neocate. Our insurance covers most of it. We still have a small copay per month. On average we use 12 cans per month. If you live in NY I believe insurance has to cover special formula, What type of insurance do you have. I receive shipments of formula once per month. If ds eats more than 12 cans per month I call the GI and get extra cans. I would ask your dr. Ffor sample cans.
